<h3>Description</h3>

<p>You are challenged to devise a solution to each open problem and
submit it under the appropriate problem on the <a
href="{% url contests.views.problems %}">Problems</a> page.  Contestron gives equal
consideration to all
problem solutions submitted during the initial open period (usually 15 minutes).
Contestron's decisions
are based on correctness, efficiency, and elegance of
solution. Contestron's decisions are final.  If a correct solution is
not submitted within the initial open period, the challenge goes into
overtime and will remain
open until a correct entry is submitted or, in the opinion of
Contestron, sufficient time has elapsed to suppose that a correct
entry is not forthcoming.</p>

<p>Entering the contest is optional. By entering the contest you agree
that Contestron may publish your name, your code, and (in the event
that you are a winner) your likeness. Final standings, overall winners, and
the name of the best performing lab section
will be announced at the
conclusion of the contest. 
</p>

<h3>Rules</h3>
<ol>
<li>All students are eligible to compete. 
Participants compete for individual glory, and as representatives of
their lab section.</li>
<li>Participants need not submit an entry for every challenge problem.
<li>A contest typically consists of eight (8) challenge problems. Contestron
may amend the number of challenges, with little or no warning.</li>
<li>Submit your entry to the appropiate upload box under the problem for which you are submitting. Closed problems do not show an upload box.</li>
<li>Comments are optional, but code style counts.

<tt>reverse</tt>, <tt>append</tt>, <tt>assoc</tt>, and <tt>length</tt>.

</li>
<li>Only the <b>first</b> submission per problem for each player will be considered
during the initial open period, so make sure that you test your submission <b>thoroughly</b> before submitting. </li>
<li><b>Do not submit code that you have not tested!</b></li>
<li>Contestron operates according to an 
<a href="http://www.iu.edu/~code/code/responsibilities/academic/index.shtml">Honor System</a>. By submitting an entry you are affirming that you personally authored the code without any assistance from others.</li>

<h3>Helpful Information</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A problem can be in one of three states: Open, Closed, or Overtime. When a problem
is <strong>open</strong> each student is allowed <b>only</b> one submission within the given time frame. 
When problems are initially released they are in the open state and will remain open for a given time frame 
(usually 15 or 20 minutes). If there were any correct solutions to the problem while it was open, the problem then becomes
<strong>closed</strong>. A problem in the closed state means it will no longer be accepting any submissions. If no correct 
solution is submitted within the initial time frame when the problem is open, the problem will automatically enter 
<strong>overtime</strong>. When a problem is in overtime, the first correct solution that is submitted will close the problem. All students are eligible
      to submit solutions in overtime, as many times as is necessary, even
if there has been a previous submitted incorrect submission.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Remember that you only get one submission to each problem during the
initial open interval, so take all the time that you need to think, write, and most 
importantly <strong>test</strong> your solution. No feedback is given until the problem's time limit is reached, in which case the
problem will automatically become closed or go into overtime.</p>
</li>
<li>Contestron is pronounced CON - TES - TRON, with the emphasis on the first syllable. You know, like in the word "contest". Contestron recommends practicing the pronunciation. </li> <li>Contestron is alive. Contreston is watching. Contestron desires your correct and elegant solutions.</li>
